Alan Stein Bio – 1:57

Question One: 4:26

Who are you currently working with and excites you right now?

My transition into the corporate world to share the lessons learned from some of the best athletes in the world

Question Two: 5:45

What are some of the most important factors that are allowing people to be successful

Mindsets / Rituals during the unseen hours

Take advantage of every opportunity to get better and master their craft

Question Three: 7:37

Anything specific you’re seeing on the habit / ritual side?

You choose your habits and your habits dictate if you’re going to be successful or not.

The successful work relentlessly to infuse positive habits into their lives.

Question Four: 8:47

Do you find those that travel the difference between road habits and home habits?

Key Quote:

For the best of the best, if the environment changes, their habits don’t and especially their commitment to their habits.

All high performers are able to “adapt” to their environment when it changes beyond their control (timing / location)

The commitment to make the time not find the time to implement your key habits regardless of their environment

Question Five: 10:29

What time of mindset do you find in high achievers that allow them to find success and do what they need to do?

They have an immense respect for TIME. (ie: hour glass analogy)

Three indisputable truths about time:

None of us has any idea how much sand it at the top of their hour glass

We can’t stop the sand from going to the bottom

Once the sand hits the bottom there’s nothing I can do or change

Live Present

The best athletes in the world know how to “play present” which means three things:

You focus on the next play – it’s the only play you can have an effect on (short term memory)

You focus on the only things in this world you have control over – Most people are worrying about everything they have ZERO PERCENT control over

You focus on the process – reverse engineer to work them backwards for success

Three things you can do with Your Time:

Invest it

Spend it

Waste it

Father Time has an undefeated record in this world

There are only TWO things we have COMPLETE control over:

Our Attidude

Our Effort

“Old people live in past, young people live in the future, but successful people live in the present.”

Question Six: 21:42

What are your thoughts on people who are afraid of failure and what happens to short circuit their success?

I believe failure is more of a mindset

I grew up that Failure was the 1st “F Word” and a bad thing but have had to unlearn that bad mindset

We need to learn to be resilient to failure when you do your best to prepare

We don’t enjoy failure and tend to avoid it naturally

Change of mindset – learning and overcoming your failures and enjoying your success all the more

Any time you do things that challenge you there will be times you will fail. But your mindset must change and learn from it.

Question Seven: 24:51

You have a quote on Failure that I absolutely love, will you comment on it?

Failure is the catalyst to growth. If you’re closed to failure, you’re closed to improvement, development, and ultimately success
